Robin120 Iam built like you. I have very toned legs, even when quite heavy, but my middle is like a spare tire and I have no waist to speak of even when I am at my lowest weight. So, even though I am 61 I wear my shorts and my skirts short. Everyone compliment me on my legs! I camouflage my middle with longer tunics, no belts and not too much contrast in the top and bottom. Works for me. No one ever guesses my weight. No, my body is not perfect but it is mine and I am learning to adore it by feeding it well with real, natural foods. Your body is really only the suitcase that carries your organs which are the most important part of you. And I have found that as I get closer to my goal the fat is coming off my middle without too much effort. Just hang in there, S-Piper, and it will all work out in the end!
